No voice over, folks - this is Ridley Scott's 2007 Final Cut - Enjoy ;)
The theatrical edition with the voice over has a twist at the end as well. It's a good watch.
I agreed!!! The voice-over is necessary: it adds meaning and brings the film closer to the noir genre. It was a big mistake to delete it. It's best to watch Final Cut with the voice-over.@@lazyhominid
@@lazyhominid Also, the voice over of the theatrical version give a little introspective flavour to the movie. If it's better or worse is a matter of personal taste; I like them both.
@@martinacusetti8002 I recommend it to people watching for the first time, since it provides context. I have watched the movie dozens of times, in all seven versions (plus a few fan versions), so I don't much need that.
@@lazyhominid I agree; the version with the voice over fits better for first time viewers.
The reason that Roy pushed the nail through his hand was that his body was shutting down. He was using the pain of the nail to keep going.
Not oddly, I knew this immediately as a 14-year old watching this for the first time it a drive-in of all places, yet modern youtube reactors miss most of the information the movie is trying to tell them because instead of really watching it, they are more worried about how their reaction cones across.
This is the greatest sci-fi flick of all time. This ain't your cheesy fantasy pop Star Wars or Avatar nonsense. This is hard sci-fi and everything about it is BRILLIANT. The direction, the acting, writing, and the sets. For 1982, are you kidding me? There's movies TODAY that don't look half as good as BR. Unquestionably a masterpiece of cinema. If you call yourself a sci-fi fan and don't like this movie, then you're a phony.
The set design was done by comic artist Moebius he and Alien screen writer Dan O Bannon made a detetetive story in Heavy Metal Magazine ( french comic company that jumpstarts anime, sci fi and fantasy in there way they did whatever they wanted.)about a detective trying to hunt down a robot desguised as human aside from Phillip K Dick's novel Do Androids dream Electric sheep.
The way the city looked was what Ridley Scott pulled from to create the dream city.
His style inspired the design of blade runner, tron, fifth element, star wars even.
One thing this movie does is the police are evil devoid of humanity, really Roy Batty, comes to the same understanding like Deckard which is Empathy, and Sympathy for human beings. Thats why everyone is cold and detatched in this futuristic world, but only the replicants have truely lived and experienced all to life. Great reaction the sequel is it's own thing in my opinion.
Also Vangelis freestyled the score playing whatever he felt while watching the movie. It's the most hollistic dream creation ever. Blade Runner is the shit.
nice comment Sir
I saw this when it was released, it's still my all time favourite film, i must have watched it 50+ times.
The "tears in rain" scene is so, so great.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die."
Deckard is NOT a Replicant. First off, he gets his ass handed to him by other Replicants. Two, Deckard's arc starts with him hating Replicants and then ends with him falling in love with one. That arc would be meaningless if Deckard is himself a Replicant. Three, even the book makes it very clear he's human.
By the way, I love Rachel (Sean Young). She has this WWII secretary aesthetic style that is REALLY doing it for me. 😍
Fun Fact: Zhora was at ease with the snake around her neck because it was actually Darling, Joanna Cassidy's actually pet Burmese Python.
Shine Job Fact: Director Sir Ridley Scott and director of photography Jordan Cronenweth achieved the famous "shining eyes" effect by using the "Schüfftan Process" technique invented by Fritz Lang. Light is bounced into the eyes off of a piece of half mirrored glass mounted at a forty-five-degree angle to the camera.
Authentic Battle Damage Fact: After Pris (Daryl Hannah) first meets J.F. Sebastian (William Sanderson), she runs away from him, skidding into his car and smashing the window with her elbow. This was a genuine mistake caused by Hannah slipping on the wet ground. The glass wasn't breakaway glass, it was real glass, and Hannah chipped her elbow in eight places. She still has the scar from the accident.
"First off, he gets his ass handed to him by other Replicants" But then, if he's a previous generation, and a non-combat model, he might not be as strong as other replicaants. in fact, such is Leon's supposed strength, perhaps surviving an assault from him *at all* suggests that Deckard *is* a replicant.
"Two, Deckard's arc starts with him hating Replicants and then ends with him falling in love with one." Perhaps he hates replicants because that's an implant to ensure that he retires other replicants. Perhaps he falls in love because replicants learn emotional responses. After all, Deckard's behaviour with Rachel is often weird and impulsive.
"Three, even the book makes it very clear he's human." Except, this isn't the book. :)
Around the time that 2049 got released, my local cinema was doing a one time screening of this version of Blade Runner and I figured, if I got a rush up my spine from seeing the opening shot, it was well worth going. Like, for real one of the greatest opening shots of all time, for ANY movie!
My all time favourite movie. This movie quite literally changed my life. Beautiful, thought provoking and unconventional, just like Philip K Dick, the author of the source material this is based on.
Do androids dream of electric sheep?
Batty sticks the nail in his hand to fend off rigor mortis. Its also symbolic of crucifixion, echoing the damage to Deckards hand.
My favorite Sci Fi movie.
It is definitely a Neo-noir sci fi film.
A lot of the tropes of the 40's and 50's noir film are in it.
The morally ambiguous detective, the mysterious woman who is a love interest, a world in decay where morality is not clear cut.
Blade Runner is responsible for the creation of Cyberpunk.
The novel that really inspired the genre is Neuromancer by William Gibson (came out in 1984) where terms like The Matrix first appeared in a sci fi context and Gibson saw Blade Runner as he had about a third of the novel written and redid it because he was so influenced by the aesthetics.
Cyberpunk is a genre that is basically sci fi noir. A neon drenched downtrodden and dirty world where cybernetics and artificial augmentation take a big part and moral corruption is rampant.
A perfect example of cyberpunk is the influential anime Ghost in the Shell, the anime that was the direct inspiration for The Matrix.
Without Blade Runner, movies like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Dark City, The Matrix and myriads of others would probably not exist.
It is literally one of the most influential movie not only cinema history but in human culture as well.
@davidmeir9348 Akira pre-dates Ghost in the Shell by 7 or 8 years but I would agree that GITS is more Cyberpunk than Akira.
I think Blade Runner is about 70% responsible for the Cyberpunk genre and you forgot another ‘82 film that is at least 20% responsible for the genre and that is TRON! 🙄 You also forgot to mention a very important Cyberpunk ( Yeah also Sci-Fi/Action and part Slasher/Horror.) film from ‘84 known as The TERMINATOR! 🙄🤨😉😎
I saw the initial release and at the end they are driving down a country road and Harrison's voice says she had no end date. She was special.
and that road was from the cutting room floor of the shining
The greatest closing monologue of any film. A total ad-lib by Rutger Hauer. The film is based on the book, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by the great sci-fi author Philip K. Dick.
Here are some more of his books rendered into films or television.
--
Electric Dreams (TV Series)
The Adjustment Bureau
A Scanner Darkly
Paycheck
Minority Report
Total Recall
--
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe. And a Happy New Year 2024.
Not actually an ad-lib, but he did write it. It may be based on "Do Androids Dream..." but has little in common. In the book Deckard definitely isn't a replicant. In the film it's pretty obvious he is (despite what anyone says), and Ridley Scott says he is. It also has relevance in the sequel.
@@adaddinsane I know what Ridley Scott has said. One time to a reporter that was bugging him. I disagree that 2049 cements his being a replicant. In fact his actions actually compound the fact that he IS NOT a replicant.
Even Ridley Scott has said that the ending monologue began as an ad lib. It doesn't matter that Hauer wrote it out. That was just to put it in writing if future scenes needed filming.
@@adaddinsane In the film it is clearly obvious Deckard is not a replicant. It's also the only way for the movie to make sense. The movie is about a grey man, living a grey life (he can't even get four pieces of fish with his noodles), who learns to live and love from a combat toaster. The premise is the arbitrariness of deciding who is human and who isn't. If Deckard is a toaster programmed to be a loser, nothing makes sense in the setting, or the narrative, or the theme, or... anything.
Scott has been contrarian for decades now. He revels in holding to outrageous, untenable positions. At the time, when Blade Runner was made, he claimed he wanted it to be ambiguous whether Deckard was a replicant. Everyone else, including writers, production and actors, held (and still hold) Deckard to be human, because that is one of the core points of the story as told. But Scott loves to just go plain crazy in his views, so he has stated that no, this movie makes no sense, and he hates that 2049 doesn't work from the premise that Deckard is a replicant.
And no, it doesn't matter at all for 2049 if Deckard is a replicant. Once again, it will actually make that movie weaker, though not as much as Deckard being a replicant completely destroyed Blade Runner.
@@Gort-Marvin0Martian Hauer wrote the ending monologue the evening before the shoot. He didn't ad lib it.
@@lazyhominid Really? It would seem to me that if he wrote the night before and expressed during the filming and the director had no idea this was what he say then it was pretty much ad lib'd.
Meh... who gives a f... one way or another.
I'm sure you feel much better mincing words. Do you eat meat??
35:30 - "A little more eerie-cringey than I imagined it was going to be". A perfect description of this reaction vid. This wasn't a film that most people grin, giggle, and joke about.
Ah but I’m a genuinely happy person . So my laughter comes out in most things I do. Understandable though from an outside perspective
It's obvious that she didn't pay a lot of attention to the details in the film. In fact, I think that much of the plot went straight over her head. I suspect that she watched this film as a child would watch a cartoon; for entertainment and laughs, and nothing else. Some very serious themes are explored in this film, but she didn't realize at all.
@@gazoontight sometimes it takes a second viewing to get everything as well. Everyone watched movies for the first time and then gets the deeper meaning / and subtleties on a second viewing.
To be fair, most people didn't get what the movie was about when it was first released. There is alot of subtext to the film.
I’ve noticed a lot of younger generations use the word ‘cringe’ frequently because it masks their social awkwardness and lack of basic interaction skills. It wasn’t ‘cringe’; that’s a bizarre analysis.
The origami unicorn is significant at the end.
5:06 the immersive Mise-en-scène this movie created started or was it near the start of a trend of creating alien or futuristic worlds that seemed you could just step right into. You lived in them You didn't just watch them on screen.
Seeing it for the first time was mind blowing.
First film I bought for my brand new, state of the art ,cutting edge, DVD player!
Fun fact: In the scene where Daryl Hanna runs into the car and breaks the window - this was an accident, she wasn't supposed to hit the car at all and the resulting colision chipped her elbow.
This came out in the days when we all thought the Japanese were taking over everything. My favorite movie ever. Masterpiece.
I disagree with those who don't believe Deckard was not a Replicant because how else would Gaff know that Deckard dreams of unicorns and thus reveals this creating the origami unicorn as a message to Deckard. The reason why Deckard wasn't as powerful as current Replicants is because he's an older model, a worn out Blade Runner who hates his job. Why would humans risk their lives when they can get a replicant to do their dirty work for them and place false memories into them to control them better? Deckard was a special prototype just like Rachel was.
Stuff
1. Joe Turkel/Tyrell played Lloyd (bartender) in "The Shining".
2. Roy/Rutger Hauer😇 plays in "Blind Fury" a great first time/share.
3. Leon/ Brion James in "Tango and Cash". Much bigger role first time/share also.
4. Deckard/Harrison Ford two overlooked must first time/share "Witness" and "Force 10 from Naverone".
5. In the original Roy tells Tyrell, "I want more life FUCKER" not father.
6. Ford disliked almost everything about this movie (including Sean Young). He mostly disliked the voiceover. He refused to even watch it until it was "fixed".
7. Daryl Hannah cut her elbow when she ran into that van window
8. Philipe K Dick first came up with the idea for his novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
9. You must watch Blade Runner 2049.
You might like "Logan's Run".
Joe Turkel also appeared in 2 other Kubrick movies: The Killing and Paths of Glory.
Edward James Olmos/Gaff played Admiral Adama in Battlestar Galactica.
Ah love these facts! Thank you! Also just watched 2049! It was epic!! Premiering soon on here!
Yes, Ford hated the shoot and in stark contrast, Rutger Hauer was very zen about the experience.
Harrison Ford’s most overlooked movie is probably The Mosquito Coast. It stars River Phoenix and Helen Mirren too. Ford plays a much more tragic and unhinged character in the film.
Do we know who we are? We don't look like our closest relatives (chimps and bonobos), even though genetically we're over 98% identical. We could have been "made" by an intelligence greater than ours when it made modifications to some of the great apes to make us. Just like we made dogs out of wolves, creating a dizzying variety of breeds. Does Deckard really knows what he is?
Why is he thinking about a unicorn? In another version he dreams of a unicorn. And at the end The other cop leaves an origami unicorn. How did the other cop know about his unicorn dream? For the same reason Deckard knew about the girls memories. Theyre not real. They've been implanted just as her memories were. Conclusion? Deckard is also a replicate but didn't know. Boom.
The replicants only live a short life and they started to learn how to feel, but their lives are so short that they find it unfair that they are used as slaves and are meant to die, Rachel was basically a pet project and Deckard ends up questioning his own humanity as he fall for her. The unicorn is a Representation of a mystical creature that does not exist and is representation of Rachel because Deckard is chasing her and the relationship he is chasing with her is a dream. The Cop basically knows what's happening with Deckard And tells him that eventually she is going to die and or other Bladerunners are going to come after her, and so Deckard runs away with her to basically "find the unicorn" Can humans and replicants co exist
Score by Greek composer Vangelis (RIP). His masterpiece. Without it, the movie is flat.
Vangelis recorded about 4 HOURS of material for the film. He would improvise on the spot, playing and recording while watching scenes of the film. An incredible musical mind.
“If a song is six and a half minutes long, that’s how long it took me to compose it.” - Vangelis (paraphrasing)
The original movie, which I prefer,had a voiceover of Deckard narrating the movie which I think is much better for people to understand the movie.
Rachel was reluctant to be with Deckard because she couldn't be sure if what she was feeling was her own or from Tyrrel's niece.
one film you may like is Cloud Atlas (2012), which is set in six time periods: 1840s Pacific Ocean, 1930s England/Scotland, 1970s California, 2010s UK, 2140s Korea, and 2320s Hawaii, having genres of historical period, star crossed lovers, geopolitical thriller, postmodern farce, cyberpunk dystopia action, and post-apocalyptic fantasy. Stars the same group of actors in each time period, but they change gender, race, and age in each time period.
I'm a fan of Ridley Scott's earlier work. He's a fantastic visual story teller. Another overlooked 80s movie of his that would fit right in with the theme of this channel is _Black Rain_ (1989 I think). If you do this movie, be be sure you get the Ridley Scott film starring Michael Douglas. There was another completely unrelated Japanese movie of the same title released that same year about the aftermath of Hiroshima. Never seen that one so I don't know if it's any good, but the Michael Douglas/Ridley Scott flim is worth a watch.
Nice! Thank you for the suggestion! I really enjoy his work so I will have to check out Black Rain! :)
Every sci fi fan has the "tears in rain" monologue memorized.
There is a deeply philosophical problem about existence, about life and about what it means to be human.
I’m in my 30’s and I actually went to watch the 25th anniversary release of the Final Cut in cinemas. I grew up loving this film and aware it basically started an entire genre. And it’s still unique!
I’ve become a bit surprised how recently it seems to be fading away quicker than seems appropriate…
I can only think it’s just too cerebral compared to everything else in its category nowadays. I guess if you’re younger than I am it’s just too old for people to have an open mind. We all seem to have pre-conceived ideas about film’s from before we were born and particularly if it’s more than 10 years before you were born, and so on.
You asked for our thoughts on the movie: the short story the movie is based on is a thought experiment. If we could make beings that were so indistinguishable from humans it would take a special test to figure them apart, are they human, and would it be morally reprehensible to use them as slaves or to kill them at will? What if those same beings could be given memories to make them even closer to us, or if after five years or so they would develop emotional responses and thus become entirely indistinguishable from "natural-born" humans, even with the test? Is there a point where they deserve the rights and respect of humans that are not man-made, or does that characteristic, even if there is no way to tell the man-made beings from the rest of us, always render them something less than human?
The sequel expands this philosophical question both in that logical direction and in new ways and is, in my opinion, a fantastic movie as well (though it was also a commercial failure, just like the original).
Ironically, your thought experiment explanation also perfectly describes another EJ Olmos project... BSG.
Replicants are not robots. They're genetically engineered "human beings". I think that you were thinking of the word conceived the future.
One of my top five sci-fi films. Just a masterpiece; excellent script, casting, cinematography & score. The 1940s noir feel just makes this film. Many say Deckard is a replicant, but there are too many signs against that theory. (He isn't stronger, or equal to in capabilities. He was assigned to a law enforcement unit formed for one purpose to which would have been violated if he were not human. He doesn't have a limited life span etc)
Ridly Scott also directed Alien, a movie that also has incredible visual effects, despite, like Blade Runner, being made before the age of CGI. And, like Blade Runner, it's a sci fi movie in a universe where things look used and lived in and perhaps even in a bit of a state of decay, though not as severely as here. To this day, the space craft of Alien is one of the few that doesn't look brand new and squeaky clean brightly lit. And its characters are real people and not space cadets or advanced beings with magical powers (Jedis). But be prepared for a seriously scary movie built around suspense.
The biggest changes that were made following those test screenings were the addition of the Harrison Ford voiceover and the happy ending of Deckard and Rachel driving off into the sunset. Both of these would ultimately be removed from later versions of the movie.
Now that you watched Bladerunner, look up The Creation of the Humanoids, from 1962, available here on TH-cam. It's a fantastic, earlier exploration of these ideas.
No Green Screen/CGI all hand crafted.
34:50 "I like the Tron-esque music."
Vangelis is amazing.
If you like that kind of music, look into Vangelis.
Also:
Jean Michel Jarre
Tangerine Dream
Andreas Vollenveider
Ray Lynch
For starters.
That will get you well into the delightful rabbit hole of electronic new age music.
YOU NEED to SEE the Original 1982 TRON! 🤨
This chic is going to have to do another cut when she's older because she doesn't get it.
First science fiction film noir and the soundtrack is from Vangelis.
If you read the book this movie was based on, "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?", the basic premise is more clear, one that the best science fiction authors have asked from the beginning: "What does it mean to be human?" The book stands alone from the movie artistically and can be read and enjoyed even if you've seen the movies. To be honest though, your reaction seemed a little shallow, as if you were taking in some cheesy Godzilla flick. In this case, it might have been better if you'd taken a little time to collect your thoughts.
the movie is accurate for L.A. run down neighborhood , artificial genetics , way too much shootings
Sebastian and Tyrell play chess , that's chess move international code
it's a parallel story of Christ's , meeting his "father" , getting nailed in his hand
then choosing life over death and letting the dove of his soul fly free , thus saving all replicants from being mere machine and being human too
Rutger Hauer was amazing. Some weird characters in this movie. Sean Young played vulnerable attractiveness very well. The scene where he finds she is alive and kisses her is beautiful. Olmos is his guardian angel.
If you like sci fi hope you can check out Oblivion with Tom Cruise. A great and underappreciated movie with a great soundtrack directed by the guy who did Top Gun Maverick with Cruise too
very under appreciated, agreed!
Deckard is a replicant. Even Harrison Ford admitted it finally last year. Took him 40 years to admit it.
Thanks for the reaction. Its always fun to see first time reactors to this movie. Will be fun to see your reaction to the sequel.
Aw thank you! I’m really happy you joined! Also love hearing the perspectives/ info :)
Harrison Ford admitted it? So what?! He didn't write the movie. The idea of Deckard being a replicant or not is meant to be ambiguous, there is no right answer.
You can't change the music it's Vangelis, it's the proper music for the time.
Have you read the book the movies is kind of based on? Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep … if you haven’t it could be of interest.
The concept artist for the movie, Syd Mead, was also the concept artist for Tron
If you like science-fiction you should try "Vice" and "Surrogates", the last one with Bruce Willis
The unicorn origami - its the ultimate mystery of the film: did Gaff implant the unicorn dream into Deckard? Is Deckard a replicant?
Got to watch Dark City and Ghost in the Shell (anime version) Rachel is a prototype of Nexus 7.
For me this movie always reminds me of the early eighties. You have a ruling class immersed in 1940s retro fashion, like the Reagans , and a punk street scene built around cottage industry, the new economic buzz phrase at the time.

This movie really did Alan E. Nourse dirty. When you think Blade Runner you do not going to think about his sci-fi novel "The Bladerunner" but the movie that borrowed the title.
Nourse was paid up front for use of the title.
"According to Scott, they approached Burroughs, he said yes, they bought the title of his book for “a nominal fee,” and Blade Runner - a work that otherwise had nothing to do with The Bladerunner or Blade Runner: A Movie - was released on June 25, 1982."
Set and costume design is amazing. This film is one the last pre-CGI productions. Watch the making of, it's very interesting. And a fun fact, when Pris (Daryl Hannah) ran away and smashed the car window, it was an accident. That is, it was NOT breakaway glass and she literally chipped her elbow.
👏👏👏🎬 Great reaction!! ♥♥♥
two films come to mind after watchin this reaction i recommed the hitcher (1986) rutger hauer plays great villian in that too and because of the unicorn , Legend (1985) also fron ridley scott starrin tom cruise and tim currey as the villian , fantasy classic about unicorns
This is another P.K.DICK story. This 2019 was 50 years in his future. Yep, where are all of our flying cars? PKD one of those unknown writers. Several of his efforts turned into good movies. The music in this is Vangelis. Best known for Chariots of Fire. TRON was Wendy Carlos. Best known for synthesized classical music like Switched on Bach, as Walter Carlos. Loads of music at the time was produced without instruments. Thanks to composers like Barry and Horner and Williams and Zimmer and other greats, we didn't lose orchestration to synthezation. Good work Cami. Go get some more.
splendid movie.
26:04 Heh, this is a really good point, and would have been the smartest and safest thing to do in that situation!
But did Cami get the significance of the unicorn origami????
It was debated whether Deker was a replicent or not
I'll be the one to say it: Deckard *IS* a replicant in *this* version of the story - the Final Cut, as authored by Ridley Scott. Yes, that's not how it is in the novella - but it's so loose an "adaptation" that 'inspired by' might describe the relation better than 'adapted from'. But Ridley Scott is pretty clear, Rachel asks this question, and the origami unicorn removes all doubt.
People are often quite ... fervent in their defense of their favored interpretation - and many proponents of the "Deckard is human" interpretation will say that Deckard being a replicant invalidates the "point of the story". I'll say that the story of a human learning empathy from and for replicants in a world of humans acting like machines is a beautiful one - and it's why I also like the "Deckard is human" interpretation.
But there's another story there when you look at Deckard being a replicant - one that's no less tragically beautiful to me: In that case, Deckard and Rachel are two slaves who don't know they are slaves - both unknowingly instrumentalized in the commodification, the slavery of their people... one as an assistant to management of the corporation creating and selling these slaves, the other to dispose of those who forget their place. ... Cradle to grave.
Together, they become aware that they are feeling beings who have been exploited, tricked into helping to enslave and kill their own kind - they complete their process of becoming full persons, caring for others, with hopes they want to pursue - by being together. In this, they not only free themselves from their own enslavement, they also surpass the unfeeling, uncaring humans we see.
Finally, Deckard being revealed to be a replicant via the origami unicorn emphasized the philosophical questions this movie prompts the viewer to ask with respect to the nature of personhood, consciousness, and identity - as well as their connection to memory, and what technology means for all of this. By making Deckard and us feel for Rachel, preconceptions about these things are already put into question. But this is made much more immediate when our central protagonist has to question their own identity, prompting us as viewers to question our preconceptions about our own identity and personhood.
As I said - I don't think this story of emancipation from unknowing slavery is any less tragically beautiful than that of a human learning empathy from a replicant.... I really like 'em both.
In the end, there are many ways to tell and interpret this story. The Final Cut, like the voice-over version, removes ambiguities which may have been better left open. But otherwise it's a fantastic version. You'll have your own thoughts on these issues and the interpretations as you maybe rewatch various versions or read the novella - don't let anyone convince you there's just one possible "point of the story" :)
I'm fine with Deckard being a replicant and agree it's ambiguous and adds a twist, but then what do the other two origami indicate? Replicants are given memories, not dreams and Deckard sees the Unicorn while day dreaming. Or would you say the Unicorn is a memory? Okay, then what about the chicken and little man origami? Edward James Olmos' character seems to use the origami to make silent commentary on Deckard. Besides, why make a Bladerunner replicant so much physically weaker than Nexus 6? Anyway, art is subjective and it seems Ridley likes the ambiguity and controversy. Cheers!
I disagree it's even ambiguous. The clues are all there and Ridley Scott says he is. Definitely "inspired by".
People who say Deckard is human, are in denial.
Even Harrison Ford finally admitted last year that he always knew Deckard was a replicant.
I don't know how so many people are still in denial.
@@bonpsyThe theory that Deckard is a replicant is guite plausible. If he is supposed to be the ultimate bladerunner he must have this "bladerunner magic" that Bryant refers to, that "uberdetective" extra sense to track replicants, sort of "it takes one to spot one". If he possessed the superstrength of a Nexus6, he definitely wouldn't believe himself he was human, which belief is necessary in order to eliminate the risk of feeling natural empathy towards his own kind. That would be my 2 cents.
And the sequel is almost as good thnaks to Villeneuve
also both tron would be worth a reaction
Deckard is himself unknowingly a replicant. Gaff leaves a unicorn origami, Deckard dreams of unicorns - gaff knows this as they are implanted dreams. Gaff says '...then again, who does?' - human, replicant we all die, both it seems can feel love, why push another away because they will die, everyone dies? We accept the joy and love of another person and all that it beings knowing it will end - but the alternative is never experiencing this and you yourself will die, you are punishing yourself to escape an inevitability you cant living a life of loneliness and fear. The human condition can't be escaped - accept it for what it is and take the risks, the highs and lows because you can't avoid them anyway.

ALTERNATIVE ENDING "Extended addition"
If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes.
The symbolism of the unicorn relates to Rachael. She is unique, a one-off Nexus 7, and the implication is that she does not have a shortened lifespan. Tyrell hints at that, when he says that she is an experiment.
Contrary to some old speculation, Deckard is not a replicant either.
Even Harrison Ford finally admitted last year that he always knew Deckard was a replicant.
Yet people are still in denial over it.
@@danielpeckham5520 It's an idea that Ridley Scott planned to include and brought to bear in the director's cut. Harrison Ford specifically gave up on the argument to stop people asking about it all the time.
It's an idea that Ridley Scott speculatively hinted at in the later cuts of the film, that he likes, and even describes as an affirmation for him, but wasn't in the book, which is the definitive original source material, and specifically states he's human.
Don't get me wrong, it's a fun interpretation, it's just a Ridley thing.
I like the theatrical version with Harrison Ford doing some narration and the final scene on the train, all be it visually incorrect. It explains more how the 2nd movie comes about.
The final train scene was 2nd Unit footage from The Shining that Kubrick offered because WB didn’t like Ridley’s ending in the screenings.
@@criminalcontentcorrect. The studio meddled with the film. Thankfully Ridley Scott was able to get the version he wanted put out on DVD all these years later.
Four months later with the likes at 666. Personally I hate that number so I'm liking it so the numbers at 667. Now I'm going to watch the reaction.
The book is better than the movie.
I think that you spent a little too much time giggling and not paying attention to details. Some important questions are raised in this movie: Is it a good thing or a bad thing to make genetically engineered beings with limited life spans to do society’s dirty work? Are those beings really human or not? Is it a good thing or a bad thing to hunt down those artificial people and kill them when they get out of their place? How can you really tell who is or is not a replicant before you kill them? What do you do when those engineered people develop emotions? A lot of people feel uncomfortable during the scene where Deckard gets intimately aggressive with Rachel. I've heard other reactors mention consent. But is consent needed from a replicant? After all, she's not a real person. Or is she? She's a replicant but is she a person? Remember, she's on Earth illegally; he should by all legal reasoning retire her immediately. He does not. Is Deckard now a criminal? What is the legally correct thing to do? What is the morally correct thing to do? Are they in conflict? Did you pay attention to the origami - what the figures were and when it was dropped? Did you think of why? You missed the significance of the discussion after Zhora was retired/killed. When the boss says there are four replicants left, he's including Rachel. Remember her? Why did Roy push the nail through his palm? To release endorphins and extend his life for a few more minutes? Does a nail through a palm call to mind anything else? And, most important of all, do androids dream of electric sheep?
she seems sweet, but not a deep thinker.................
I agree. One should not be trying to meaningfully react to movies unless capable of the required willing suspension of disbelief. But I see other veteran reactors who devolve into mainly trying to come up with cute things to say. I've quit watching them, as I likely will quit watching this channel. This is quite apart from the tendency of younger generations to have no tolerance for unanswered questions. 2001 is lost on them. As is Bladerunner and many others. They want everything explained. But that way just stultifies imagination.
...I was excited to watch her at first because I thought she seems serious and interested....then I was so disappointed at how clueless she was and how superficial she was....she pretty missed every "thought provoking" part of the movie....the straw that broke the camel's back for me was how oblivious she was during the final monologue which drove many other reaction TH-camr to tears....must say this was one of the worst reaction for this movie I have ever seen....I might sound harsh but it's true observations after watching many TH-camrs...
@@mrgclough this girl was really clueless in this reaction...all she says are meaningless things in an attempt to have something to say or trying to add a little humor....I hate reactors who constantly feel they have to be a comedian 24/7 and make a funny comment in response to every line of dialogue...this girl wasn't as bad in that respect, but she was just clueless...I probably won't watch her again or I might watch just for "amusement"...
I know I certainly wouldn’t stick a nail through my palm to extend my life just a few more moments , so I could kill someone. To me that shows the heartlessness of that particular replicant. I can go deep in the comments if y’all want lol I usually just take everything in first viewing and enjoy the show. I’m big on the soul and spirit, so a lot of those questions you posed would not be that debatable. The answer is already clear to me. When you are divinely created and complex vs being manufactured in a futuristic kind of evil. There is a lot to delve into. Believe me I can go there.
Great movie but I prefer the theatercial cut. I also detest the theory Deckard is a skin job. Riddley Scott has changed his mind several times on this. The script writers and source material stated that he is human. Not to mention this is Roy's story not Deckards. Roy has the only heros/charcter arch.
I don’t believe he is a replicant either! It just doesn’t make enough sense! I understand them teasing it a little, but way more believable that he is human :)
Eh.. Harrison Ford admitted it just last year that he always knew Deckard was a replicant.
I don't know why people are still in denial about this.
@danielpeckham5520 it's not denial. Considering Ford is changing his mind after all this time tells us that he doesn't really care all that much. That is perfectly fine, but it also makes him an unreliable source like Scott is. This garbage fan fiction people want to believe in is ridiculous.
@@0PsychosisMedia0 Ford didn't say he changed his mind. He said he always knew but just wanted to push back on the idea for some reason.
Basically he was just being a jerk for 40 years. Either way, I still think people are in denial. Even the books allude to this, in one of the books a character mentions that all Blade Runners are replicants.
@danielpeckham5520 I got to agree with the Ford statement. He has been pretty much indifferent to every character he has played afterward. But I guess it's just a job to him. I can't beat him down too much as he had some great movies/ characters in his career.
It's exactly like Star Wars. You have Harrison Ford. Robots that are being hunted and flying cars.
I feel like Deckard really didn't have to be here.
I mean, at the end, he lost. He failed. But Batty died anyway, thanks to that short lifespan.
Also, Deckard didn't save anybody. The Replicants went wherever they want, killed anybody and everybody they wanted to, then died.
If Deckard just stayed home all week, these replicants would have killed the same people and then all died on their own.
Same outcome, but he wouldn't have a bunch of broken fingers.
Harrison Ford has a bit of a reputation for making movies he doesn't need to be in.
Like Raiders of the Lost Ark. That movie ends the same if Indy stays home all week too.
Sad that you had to turn down/off the music in this reaction. What makes this film special is the visuals combined with the music. The sequel BR2049 has a good continuation of the story 30 years later, but the world looks very different. It's too clean and not real cyberpunk or tech noir like this film.
the 1982 theatrical version is the best
I disagree. The voiceover the studio made them put in to dumb it down was insufferable. I'm of the opinion that the Director's Cut was the best, followed by the Final Cut, with the Theatrical Cut being the worst of the bunch (I don't know what the International Cut consists of).
@@TennSeven exactly what I like.
No, not really.
@@carlossaraiva8213 Yes it is
@@sonosoloio nope. But it matters not. What it all matters is that you love Blade Runner and nothing else matters. Greeting and love to you from Portugal, my fellow tribe member.
It was like listening to a bored teenager comment on a DaVinci sculpture.
“Eww.. but why.. like yeah.. “ 🙄🤦🏻♂️
The fact that you find this movie creepy and weird is the reason it performed badly at the box office.
Many audience members found this movie to be slow, boring, creepy, weird, and confusing, and that's what they told their friends who then decided to pass on it.
This movie just isn't for everybody.
Sci-fi like Star Wars appeals to the whole world.
Sci-fi like this appeals to a much smaller audience.
